Question

Write a function called sum_scores. It should take four arguments, where each argument is the team's score for that quarter. It should return the team's total score for that game.

Answer 1

Answer:

Here is the Python program which has a function sum_scores:

def sum_scores(score1, score2, score3, score4):

   sum = score1 + score2 + score3 + score4

   print(sum)    

sum_scores(14,7,3,0)

Explanation:

• Method sum_scores takes four arguments, score1, score2, score3, score4.
• The sum variable adds these four scores and stores the value of their addition.
• Lastly print statement is used to print the value stored in sum variable which is the value obtained by adding the four scores.
• Last statement calls the sum_scores method and passes four values to it which are 14,7,3,0
• The output of the above program is:
• 24
• If you want to use return statement instead of print statement you can replace print(sum) with return sum. But in order to display the sum of the scores you can replace sum_scores(14,7,3,0) with print(sum_scores(14,7,3,0))
• The program along with the output is attached as a screenshot.
